I was so tickled to get my census form, if for no other reason to make a political statement.
The only thing they got out of me was my name and number of people in my household, the other questions I left blank.
The constitution requires us to take a head count every ten years, no where does it say anything about breaking us down by age, sex or race. I have always been insulted when asked what my race is. My vote and apportionment has nothing to do with race or sex or age. I mean, if I were a Negro, do I get counted twice? Is there some special rule if I am a certain age or sex? Of course not. There had better not be. We are supposed to be a color-blind society, we do not discriminate due to sex or age (or so they say). I considered the questions irrelevant and unconstitutional and wrote as much on the form. I hope their computer chokes on my reply.
I recommend all who have yet to fill out the form to do that same. Answer the names and # of people living in your home. That is all they need to know.
